{/quote}While were on this topic, is it dangerous to eat (normally edible) mushrooms on certain substrates?

I found a lot of mushrooms growing from a deer carcass here in Texas. Unfortunately I did not have the stomach to photo or identify them...

I would've plugged my nose with something and twisted on my macro filter. I usually take pics when I find something dead anyway. Is that twisted? Would it be cooler if fungus was involved?

Whoa…it's the circle of life, man….

I don't think she's using those species because they are edible but because they are easy to cultivate. I sure as fuck wouldn't eat a mushroom growing from a corpse. Cannibalism by proxy.
While were on this topic, is it dangerous to eat (normally edible) mushrooms on certain substrates?
I would have no problem eating a mushroom growing on a fleshy substrata, but its kinda my job to know flavor profiles. If Homo-sapiens where readily consumed I'm sure I would be taiste testing them before serving too.
I have read that Polyporus sulphureus can cause gastric upset when growing on hemlock. That is only speculation from that author though. Boletus mirabilis seems to grow specifically on decaying hemlock and is a choice edible.
Some mushrooms have been know to concentrate metal in there substrate I.e. mercury and gold. I do not know if these can be transposed into the mushroom. They may though. I ate an Amanita muscaria picked from beside a dentists office that had a very metallic flavor. I never when back to that patch.
Paul Stamets on the other hand claims:Pleurotus oystreous mushrooms, from his bus depot experiment, where completely edible and harmless after consuming a pile of oil enriched substrate.
Your guess is as good as mine. Better safe than sorry.

You are one gnarly fellow Domestic gnome. Those pics are intriguingly grotesque. Keep up the good work.

Cool fox!
Whats the last one??
Always good to see others who can enjoy photographing images like this... sometimes I feel like people might think i am gross for doing the same... but i find it highly intriguing and great for photo subjects.... and sometimes I cant resist dragging clean skulls and various bones home... they go nicely in my rock and wood garden~

yes, Cordyceps Scizophyllum Scizophyllum commune are known to infest the nasal passage. They are using them (edit) Cordyceps in conjunction with them as a body building supplement, with no real long term investigation.
Other Cordyceps infect insects taking over their central nervous system. After grabbing hold the insect is pretty much a zombie controlled by the mushroom. The Cordyceps then steer them to higher ground where they are mummified by the mycelium and consumed. The fungus then fruits to spread it's spores.

Those Cordyceps are so bad ass. I saw them on Planet Earth, the BBC video series. Its a must see if you haven't already...
They need to find one that attacks the chinese stinkbugs that have invaded. Whoever discovers that could finds themselves rolling in money. I'd certainly give them mine.

Cordyceps and Schizophyllum are two separate genera with nothing in common. Schizophyllum commune is a very agressive wood digesting fungus. It grows everywhere, from trees, to park benches and beyond. It has been documented to infest nasal passages of patients with severely compromised immune system (HIV, cancer etc.) a couple of times. But it's by no means a common occurrence. Cordyceps on the other hand is a genera of parasitic fungi that attacks specific invertebrates, and some species are used as a medicinal mushroom in traditional Chinese medicine, and now in modern 'natural' medicine as 'herbal supplements'.

Sometimes I get my research mixed up. Thank you. Schizophyllum commune Damn. I should know this.
I quit smoking weed a few days ago in hopes to clear up my mental fog.

Found a patch of what looks like a "corpse finder." Maybe I should start digging? They look similar to cyans except for the color.

Very old thread, but an interesting one that I might flip through again.
Those look like Heboloma, but I wouldn't hope for a corpse under them.
